Demon Slayer: Tanjiro becomes a ghost, Nezuko becomes a pillar!

Chapter 82 The Unkillable Spider Demon

Now let's return to Tanjiro and Inosuke's side.

Just as Inosuke gritted his teeth and tried his best to push the blade in another half inch.

The spider demon's other thick arm suddenly lashed out at Inosuke's back.

"Inosuke, be careful!"

Tanjiro, seeing this, immediately reminded him and wanted to help.

However, he was being tightly suppressed by the Spider Demon's rapidly regenerating arm, and his Nichirin Blade was almost knocked out of his hand by the shock.

All his strength was spent on blocking, leaving him no time to rush to help. He could only watch helplessly as the thick arm approached Inosuke.

Inosuke's eyes, hidden behind the boar's head mask, suddenly shrank. In the nick of time, he managed to twist his body and take the blow from the spider demon squarely on his shoulder.

With a loud "thud," Inosuke let out a muffled groan from the intense pain.

Using the momentum, he spun around and slashed his twin blades fiercely at the Spider Demon's arm joints.

"Beast Breathing - Second Fang - Disembowelment!"

The two Nichirin swords fell in a cross pattern, and although they did not sever the arm, they did cleave deep wounds at the joints, exposing the bone.

"Inosuke, how are you?!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tanjiro unleashed his power, the flames on his Blazing Blade surging, and fiercely cleaved off the arm that was suppressing him. He then leaped to Inosuke's side, his expression urgent.

Inosuke shook his numb arm, grinned, and completely ignored the injury on his shoulder.

"This little injury is nothing! Tanjiro, this demon is too tough, I can't cut it!"

Tanjiro nodded in agreement, his brow furrowed: "Its regeneration speed is too fast; ordinary slashes are useless. We must concentrate our power and attack its weak points! I'll use the Blazing Blade to restrain its movements, and you find an opportunity to attack its neck—make sure it's a fatal blow!"

"Hahaha, be my underling, you're pretty smart!"

Inosuke laughed loudly, then stomped his feet on the ground and charged towards the Spider Demon.

His fighting style is wild and fierce, seemingly without any rules, yet every move is ruthless, with each strike carrying the force to tear flesh apart.

This forced the spider demon to keep swinging its arms to block, its massive body spinning repeatedly through the forest, crashing into trees and causing them to fall to the ground.

Enraged by being attacked from both sides, the spider demon raised its head and let out a deafening roar, slamming its two thick arms down at the two men simultaneously, sending shards of stone flying from the ground.

The spider demon's compound eyes were full of ferocity, and every swing of its arm carried immense power, sending pebbles flying and dust billowing through the forest.

Upon seeing this, Tanjiro immediately activated his inner power, veins bulging between his brows, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Blood Demon Art: Exploding Flame Blade!"

The flames on the Nichirin Blade instantly surged several times over, transforming into waves of fire that swept outwards and coiled around the Spider Demon's limbs.

The flames scorched the ghost's flesh, making a sizzling sound. The excruciating pain caused the spider ghost to become disoriented, frantically waving its arms in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but this only made the fire spread faster.

"Now!"

Tanjiro shouted sharply, his figure flashing, and his Blazing Blade tightly wrapped around the Spider Demon's two arms, making it difficult for it to break free.

Inosuke's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he pushed off the tree trunk with both feet, leaping into the air and raising his twin swords overhead in a cross shape.

"Beast Breathing - Fifth Fang - Berserk Slash!"

This attack gathered all of Inosuke's strength; his twin swords, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound as they tore through the air, slashed fiercely towards the spider demon's neck.

Spider Demon senses a deadly danger and tries to break free from Tanjiro's grasp.

Tanjiro had already given it his all, his Blazing Blade locking tightly around the spider demon's arm, his power surging, and he managed to withstand the spider demon's struggles.

"Inosuke, hurry!"

Tanjiro immediately shouted.

Meanwhile, Inosuke's twin swords had already accurately struck the spider demon's neck.

The chipped blade pierced through the hard outer skin and plunged deep into the soft flesh.

"roar--!"

The spider demon let out a shrill scream, its massive body struggling violently, its limbs flailing wildly, smashing all the surrounding trees and filling the entire forest with dust.

Inosuke gritted his teeth, trying to sever the spider demon's head, but the skin and flesh around its neck remained tough, and with its frantic struggle, the twin blades could not advance even an inch further.

"Tanpachiro, give it your all!"

Inosuke roared, his muscles tense, as if he was squeezing out all his strength.

Upon hearing this, Tanjiro unleashed his power once more, causing the flames of his Blazing Blade to intensify, and he severed the Spider Demon's arm with intense heat.

Taking advantage of the opening, Inosuke suddenly exerted his strength, twisting his twin swords fiercely. Blood gushed from the spider demon's neck, and the deep, bone-revealing wound almost severed its head.

"It's done!"

Inosuke, panting heavily, had a look of wild joy on his face. His twin swords were still firmly stuck in the spider demon's neck. With just one more powerful slash, he could completely sever its head.

Tanjiro also breathed a sigh of relief. The flames slowly subsided, and his tense nerves finally relaxed a little. Looking at the spider demon whose head he was about to cut off, he said with joy.

"Finally... it's going to end, Inosuke."

But at that moment, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the dying spider demon.

With its last ounce of strength, ignoring the severe injury to its neck, it whirled its massive body around, and its two arms quickly recovered.

At the same time, he grabbed onto the thick tree trunks around him and used the mountainous terrain to stabilize himself.

Then, it exerted its strength, its thick arms gripping the tree trunk tightly, and its massive body spun around. The flames wrapped around its body were thrown off by the centrifugal force, and the two blades at its neck were also freed.

Caught off guard, Tanjiro was struck hard by the spider demon's spinning body. He instinctively tried to grip his Nichirin Blade to block.

But the power that Spider Demon unleashed at this moment far exceeded expectations, and with the help of the terrain, the enormous force instantly sent him flying.

"Tanjiro!"

Inosuke cried out in surprise, trying to reach out and grab it, but only grasped at empty air.

Tanjiro never expected that the Spider Demon would go to such lengths to survive.

Just as he was about to lose control and leave the battlefield, he could only shout loudly.

"Inosuke, be careful! Don't die! Hang in there, I'll be back soon. Please be careful, don't die!"

"Bang—"

As Tanjiro's voice echoed throughout Spider Mountain, a muffled sound also rang out in the distance.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, only the faint traces of fallen trees could be seen in the distance; Tanjiro was nowhere to be seen.

Inosuke stood frozen in place, his eyes, hidden behind the boar's head mask, filled with shock and rage.

He turned sharply to look at the spider demon, only to see that although the dying demon's aura was still weak, it had managed to survive thanks to its earlier spin and its massive size.

The wound on his neck was slowly healing, his arms were firmly planted on the ground, and his compound eyes were fixed on Inosuke with a sinister smile.

"You dared to leave my newly recruited underling so far behind? Unforgivable!!!"
